Tom Dumoulin (Sunweb) went out on the offensive in the final kilometers of the climb up to La Rosiere. Dumoulin went off and opened up a gap. He did bridge across to Damiano Caruso (BMC) who had been in the break all day. At this point, Geraint Thomas (Sky) left his team leader Chris Froome behind and gone in search of Dumoulin. Sky was in a great position, Thomas is poised to take the yellow jersey, and should anyone counter his move, then Froome is free to attack and move himself further up the general classification. Thomas is looking behind to see if it is Froome, or someone else coming up to this trio.
